Sam is the only child of a famous architect and her best friend, who are close to winning a prestigious architectural design award. When Sam accidentally goes missing after school one day, Bernadette is the one who gets the phone call from her mother. While many assume Sam had run away from home, Bernadette has no idea where her friend could've gone - she's just as lost as everyone else trying to find her.

When Bernadette disappears from her home, leaving behind only a note, her daughter Bee sets out to find her. As the novel progresses, Bernadette's friends and family are brought into the mystery of what happened to Bernadette and why she left.

When a 15 year old daughter disappears from her posh Seattle home and her parents can’t find her, it triggers a series of events that bring the family to their knees. The novel explores what happens when you suddenly lose everything you care about and how far we will go in order to get it back.

The story is told in the voice of Bernadette, a young woman who narrates her life and the events that led to her disappearance. The narrator is an unreliable narrator in the sense that she has a lot of trouble telling what happened or didn't happen in her life. This project was written by Maria Semple after one of her own family members experienced a mental breakdown and went missing for weeks.

'Kathleen Wilhoite' is a narrator with a rich, warm vocal range who brings Bernadette's doubts to life.

In Where'd You Go, Bernadette, Semple tells the story of 15-year-old Bee whose life changes drastically when her mother disappears.
